Electric vehicle (EV) maker Tesla will unveil the ‘Tesla Robotaxi’ self-driving car on August 8. Company owner Elon Musk gave this information on social media platform X. However, he did not give any information about Robotaxis.
Musk has been working for a long time to produce Tesla’s self-driving electric car. In April 2019, the company said Robotaxis operations could begin by 2020.
The company has estimated that the automatic car will last for 11 years, and will cover a distance of one million miles (over 1.6 million km). Because of this, the company and the vehicle operators will receive a benefit of $30,000 (more than Rs 24 lakh) every year.

Robotaxi will be a self-driving car that travels without a steering wheel.
According to media reports, Tesla’s robotaxis car will not have clutch, brake and accelerator pedals. At the same time, it will be a self-driving car that drives without a steering wheel. Musk has previously said that Tesla cars equipped with full self-driving capability will gradually become better at driving through software updates.
He said that after some time the cars will be able to work as fully autonomous taxis. Such cars can make money by driving themselves as taxis for their owners.
